Selangor keluar pekeliling guna identiti negeri sambut delegasi luar

SHAH ALAM: Selangor akan mengeluarkan pekeliling kepada pihak berkuasa tempatan (PBT) dan agensi di bawah kerajaan negeri untuk menggunakan identiti negeri itu menerusi makanan serta persembahan ketika menyambut delegasi dari luar.

Exco Perumahan dan Kebudayaan Borhan Aman Shah berkata ia antara usaha berterusan pihaknya bagi mengetengahkan identiti Selangor agar terus dikenali di samping menjana pendapatan pemain industri pelancongan kebudayaan sempena Tahun Melawat Selangor 2025.

"Kalau kita ke Pulau Pinang, sudah tentu kita akan dihidangkan dengan nasi kandar dan tarian boria kerana ia merupakan identiti negeri itu.

"Begitu juga di Selangor, kita boleh hidang makanan seperti nasi ambeng, punten dan soto manakala tarian ronggeng, cempuling dan keroncong juga boleh dipersembah," katanya selepas sesi dialog awam bersama pertubuhan bukan kerajaan bagi seni budaya negeri di sini hari ini.

Borhan berkata turut dikenal pasti melalui pewartaan ialah wau kapal sebagai petunjuk geografi Selangor, bunga tanjung sebagai bunga rasmi negeri dan pemerkasaan Batik Selangor.

Selain itu, kerajaan negeri menerusi Perbadanan Adat Melayu dan Warisan Negeri Selangor (Padat) merancang pengembangan dan pemerkasaan tekstil serta kraf negeri iaitu songket diraja Selangor, telepuk diraja Selangor, kebaya Selangor dan kelingkan Selangor.

Beliau berkata sesi dialog awam itu, yang dihadiri kira-kira 200 pemain industri, menjadi platform kerajaan negeri serta pemain industri bertukar pandangan di samping mencari solusi bersama untuk memajukan dan menjaga warisan dan budaya Selangor.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?

Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
